January 11, 200817 yr I don't get it, are they selling of a sort of Steven Tyler/Joe Perry catalouge? :unsure:
January 12, 200817 yr I now understand Steven doesn't own the rights to those songs anymore He sold them for 50 million I heard Which means he can't sue people for stealing the lyrics but Primary Wave can! Also they get to use his songs in movies and other things. Edited January 12, 200817 yr by Freakydeaky
